Our take
Galaxy was founded to bring institutions into the blockchain revolution, envisioning a society where values and ownership flow as freely as information. It has captured the massive growth in the space over the past few years, offering its clients a range of financial solutions spanning the digital assets ecosystem.
The company operates five synergistic business lines: Trading, Asset Management, Principal Investments, Investment Banking, and Mining. Although it exists within a highly volatile industry, Galaxy emerged stronger following the crypto reset, and has focussed in on building an optimal team structure and strategy.
In 2024, Galaxy announced that it had entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corporation for a bought deal offering, raising gross proceeds of approximately $100 million. This move bolstered the company’s financial position, with proceeds going towards working capital and general corporate purposes.
